# The Zoonati Zoonati is a term coined by DRASTIC to describe members of the Zoonotic Cross-over Industry. Later known as The GoF Mafia. Understanding the shenanigans of this powerful subset in THE Science Community, is the same as understanding the Origin of Covid ... # Intermediate hosts - Civets Here’s a good question to open the topic: How did SARS-1 originate? Ans: *Bats infected civets which infected humans at a wet market, right?* Wrong. There’s no evidence for civets being the intermediate host. It’s a made-up narrative thing - which makes me question the whole origin of SARS-1 - but i’m not going down that rabbit hole! (Edit: Later, i did [venture down ](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2866)there a little bit - it's even murkier than the origin of Covid) Bat Lady rose to prominence through her studies on SARS-1. She was convinced that civets had nothing to do with it. Here is her evidence from a [2006 paper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3291347/): *During the 2002–2003 outbreaks, **none of the animal traders** surveyed in the markets, who supposedly had very close contact with live civets, displayed SARS symptoms. These observations seem to indicate that >1 other animal species may play a role in transmission of SARS-CoV to humans.* *Most, if not all, civets traded in the markets are not truly wildlife animals; rather, they are farmed animals...**No significant level** of SARS-CoV antibody was detected **in any of the 75 samples** taken from 6 farms in 3 provinces.* *Similar results were obtained in wild-trapped civets in Hong Kong; **none of the 21 wild civets** sampled had positive antibody or PCR results for SARS-CoV.* *The lack of widespread infection in wild or farmed palm civets makes them **unlikely to have been the natural reservoir host**.* Bat Lady's conclusion was that civets at the market (some of which did test positive) were more likely to have become infected by humans rather than the other way around. In 2013, a WIV/EcoHealth Alliance collaboration [announced](https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/2013/10/new-sars-like-coronavirus-discovered-in-chinese-horseshoe-bats) they had: *...uncovered genome sequences of a new virus closely related to SARS (which) suggests that SARS may have originated from one of these viruses, **precluding civets** from playing a part in the transmission process.* (note: WIV wasn't called WIV in 2013, but involved much the same personnel.) [The paper states:](https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12711) *Our results provide the strongest evidence to date ...that intermediate hosts may not be necessary for direct human infection by some bat SL-CoVs.* Even Ian Lipkin, who to this day talks about civets being an intermediate host for SARS as if it’s an incontrovertible fact (as he segues into his pangolin theory) [admitted](https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/2013/10/new-sars-like-coronavirus-discovered-in-chinese-horseshoe-bats) back in 2013 that: *(I)t does provide **compelling evidence** that an intermediate host was not necessary.* Finally in 2017, the same researchers proclaimed they'd found all *[the building blocks](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-07766-9)* for SARS-1 in a cave in Yunnan - 1000 km away from Guangdong (where the outbreak occurred). Meaning they could theoretically piece together SARS from different bats. But still no explanation of how that theoretical bat traveled 1000km, without infecting anyone on the way, and no demonstration of this theoretical virus being able to jump from bats to humans (or civets). So how the hell did we get to the situation where the entire world *believes* civets were the culprits? The answer appears to lie in the self-perpetuating industry that is the field of scientists studying zoonotic transfer - the Zoonati. Let’s take a closer look at this tight-knitted clique. # 911 & The Rise of the Celebrity Scientists We touched on this before but it’s worth another look. According to this 2011 [*Science* article](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/333/6047/news-summaries): *The anthrax mailings that petrified Americans soon after 9/11... led to an **explosion of biodefense research** in the United States. Nearly **$19 billion** has been spent—a huge increase over previous levels…(T)he number of planned or operating high-security biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs in the United States has climbed from four to 12.* In a climate of (false, as it turned out) fear of a bio-terrorism attack after 911 and the anthrax incident, Biosecurity was born as a mega-industry. But as Dan pointed out, ask anyone: *What was the origin of the anthrax incident?* (thereby the origin of the bio-lab explosion and Lipkin/Daszak’s celebrity ascendancy?) Most people won’t know. I didn’t - had to look it up - i’m still not sure. The [FBI website says](https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/amerithrax-or-anthrax-investigation): *In August 2008 (**seven years** after the attack), Department of Justice and FBI officials announced a breakthrough in the case and released documents and information showing that charges were about to be brought against Dr. Bruce Ivins, who took his own life before those charges could be filed.* (Aside: Robert Mueller was the then-head of the FBI. The investigation appears bungling.) Oh, so who the fuck was this Dr. Bruce E. Ivins? Turns out he was a microbiologist expert working in a lab at Fort Detrick. *Dr. Ivins, who had helped develop an **anthrax vaccine** to protect American troops (a rabbit-warren in itself - lots of [long-term side-effects](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2001/jul/30/internationalnews) complaints from soldiers), had spent his career waiting for a biological attack.* Until he finally got sick of waiting, decided to DIY. Ivins's story sounds awfully similar to the non-stop fear-mongering by Daszak, Lipkin et al who can’t stop crowing that they’d been *warning us for years* about a zoological crossover pandemic such as Covid, and that *this may not be [the big pandemic](http://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-special-lipkin/) that we’re all most worried about*. (So give us more money! Which they got.) *Suddenly, at 55, (Ivins) was **advising the F.B.I.** and regaling friends with scary descriptions of the deadly powder, his **expertise in demand**.* (Imagine if he’d had Facebook and Twitter (Daszak’s favourite platform.) An analysis of the strain narrowed it down to ... Fort Detrick. Ruling out the original suspects - Al Queda and/or Saddam Hussein. As such: *An alternative theory of a possible perpetrator took shape: the bioevangelist. An American **obsessed by the bioterrorism threat** — maybe a biodefense insider who might **gain in pay or prestige** from an attack — had decided to alert the nation.* **Let’s unpack that:**
- The anthrax incident was a lab-escape event. - The three chief FBI suspects were US scientists - world-leading experts - This lab-escape precipitated an *explosion in biodefense labs/research* and the rise of today’s Celebrity Scientists. - Those same highly-paid scientists are angrily shutting down calls for an investigation into a lab-escape possibility for Covid.

Ian Lipkin (left) & Dr. Bruce E. Ivins # Celebrity Scientists: W. Ian Lipkin Once upon a time, a clique of Gain-of-Function bio-evangelists rode the 911 money-wave to wealth and fame. Along the way they developed close ties with Chinese scientists and government officials who wanted to develop GoF technology. Everyone said it was a *win-win situation*. The CCP got their GoF-know-how, while the scientists were rewarded with money, flattery, media attention, & medals. When Covid happened, they walked the red carpet onto the platforms of [mainstream media](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/09/conspiracies-covid-19-lab-false-pandemic) (from [Fox](https://www.foxnews.com/us/dr-ian-lipkin-consultant-contagion-coronavirus) to [CNN](https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2020/02/17/dr-ian-lipkin-virus-hunter-china-coronavirus-full-episode-acfc-vpx.cnn)) and the world's top [science journals](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9). They presented themselves as our scientific heroes riding to our rescue in a time of crisis. Fittingly, they all had colorful super-hero-nicknames, such as *Bat Lady*, *Batman*, & *The Virus Hunter*. They united as *one-force* to promote the CCP's version of events - they became their international mouthpieces. The CCP, in turn, implored the world to *Listen to the Global Science Experts.* It was a perfect arrangement. One of the most visible of these Celebrity Scientists in the crucial early days of Covid, when the narrative was first being shaped, was The Virus Hunter, **W. Ian Lipkin**. (Note: After i published details of Lipkin's involvement with CCP officials on his [Wikipedia page](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/w-ian-lipkin-wikipedias-war-on-truth/chapter/the-wiki-post) in June 2020, he suddenly went to ground. I assume he read it. For my troubles, i had those details erased by a network of United Front Work Dept operatives who appear to have totally infiltrated Wikipedia management. I tried to fight it according to Wikipedia's rules, but received a barrage of *conspiracy theorist* vilification & was soon banned from Wikipedia. We know the CCP's UFWD works globally to infiltrate all influential organizations - Wikipedia is an obvious target. In the information war surrounding the origin of Covid, we can put Wikipedia in the *Lost* column (along with MSM, Science Academia, WHO, etc). Luckily, groups such as DRASTIC, & to a smaller extent Formosa Hut, were still able to publish verifiable, referenced info about the origin. In a case of *turning-the-tables*, we borrowed a classic CCP tactic from the Chinese Revolution - *surround the city with the country*. Today, despite the combined might of all establishment info-platforms telling us that Covid was natural-origin, virtually nobody believes them.)

This role burnished his Celebrity Scientist status - invariably referred to in every media-gig intro. Lipkin proudly reveals that one of the characters, who *saves the world* by *breaking-the-rules*, is based on him. - Conducted media blitz praising the [CCP’s *system of government*](http://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-special-lipkin/) (16:17) after returning from a fact-finding-mission to China in Feb 2020.

This resulted in him catching/spreading Covid in mid-March, when the disease first took off in the US. As an alternative to masks, Lipkin promoted a video he’d provided advice for, involving the lead actors from *Contagion*, which urged people to *shelter in place, wash your hands, and listen to the experts* (such as himself). - Founding Director of the [Beijing Center](https://www.pathology.columbia.edu/profile/w-i-lipkin-md) for Infectious Diseases.

Has played up threat of zoonotic crossover all his career - says this is not *the big one* - so give us more money/surveillance power.
**Take-aways:** Massive CCP COIs - which make all his pronouncements on the origin of Covid suspicious. Weird disinformation disseminating behaviour upon returning from his *fact-finding-mission* to China whereupon he downplayed the severity of Covid & campaigned *against* mask usage - even though he knew better than anyone that they *were* useful - having seen studies to that effect, & praised their usage in China. You can bet your life he wasn't running around China giving TV interviews telling people not to wear masks there. It's hard to think of a plausible reason why Lipkin would do this other than he *wanted* the disease to spread in the US. Why would he do that? For the same vested interests that motivated him to run-interference for the CCP re the origin: *money/power*. A pandemic would ensure a huge boost in pipeline funding as well as help pull-off a global power-grab for the Zoonati. That amounts to mass-man-slaughter if those charges are ever proven. # Celebrity Scientists: Peter Daszak (under construction) Peter Daszak - President of *EcoHealth Alliance*, which has received [$99.8 million in US taxpayers’ money](https://www.gmwatch.org/en/news/latest-news/19437), mostly via *US Defens*e, various other *Intelligence Agencies*. Classified-stuff. Pete was the Sci*-Spy guy-in-the-room* ... fighting *THE Terrorists.* Very exciting ... playing with the *Secret Big-Picture Boys* (99% Boys, anyway). Whilst making money! How good is that? Addictive, even ... - David R. Franz, an [EcoHealth Alliance advisor](https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/partners), was one of *THE Boys* in *the-thick-of* the FBI’s [Anthrax Investigation](https://www.organicconsumers.org/blog/david-r-franz-ecohealth-alliances-anthrax-era-biological-weapons-scientist). All three suspect scientists in the anthrax mailings worked under Franz at Fort Detrick/USAMRIID (US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases). It was blamed on a *lone-gunman-style-scientist* in the protracted, seven year-end, where the suspect Bruce Ivins conveniently committed suicide - but it was the generational, *secret, corrupt culture* that grew him. The culture was the problem long before Ivins came along. But instead of being corrected, it was rewarded by an explosion in funding. Humanity's sliding doors moment. Without Anthrax-inspired funding, there never would have been an EcoHealth Alliance/Peter Daszak ... or Covid ... - Estimated salary of [US$400 000](https://www.gmwatch.org/en/news/latest-news/19437) per year from *EcoHealth* alone. Which is not huge by *Globo-higher-up*s standards, but decent. Let it be said: it wasn't all about the money for Pete (vanity played a huge role as well). The best part was the *all-expense-accounts-paid* as you jet/carbon emit your way around the planet to the latest *Hotspots*. Not so much the *Bat Hotspots* (unless you count the *Bat Lab* in Wuhan city) - we've got our people out doing that - that's why God invented funding - no, more-ya *Eco-Science Conference/Gravy Train* *Hotspots. Nice locations - nice hotels - keynote addresses from Bill Gates & Zuckerberg.* *Rubbing-shoulders with THE Globo-Scio-Community* (91% paid by normal people). The thing about *Big-Not-for-Profit Orgs* is the *Profit* is gobbled up in wages & expense-accounts by the *Top-Gobblers* - like Pete ... They don't give the profits back or anything - that's not how it works ... - Involved in the promotion of Remdesivir through his connection with WIV (which Bat Lady patented re use to treat Covid on **[Jan 21, 2019](https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1005169)**!). Despite being largely ineffectual (same as it had been with Ebola & MERS), it was the only antiviral drug approved by the FDA, netting its backers billions. It's unclear to what extent, if any, Daszak financially benefited from this windfall. But Remdesivir, which EHA/WIV were experimenting with since 2014 was primed, ready to go, as soon as Covid hit the streets. Did you think you had the magic-antidote up your sleeve? Not saying it was a deliberate release, but that would be a powerful motive if you held what you (wrongly) thought was the cure. [NPR:](https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/10/07/921224417/ironic-twist-last-spring-trump-halted-research-key-to-covid-19-drug-hes-now-take) *Beginning in 2014, virus experts in the U.S. tested remdesivir against some of the bat strains that EcoHealth Alliance had discovered. The results were promising — helping to elevate remdesivir's profile within pharmaceutical research such that, when the current coronavirus hit, the drug was one of the first options scientists proposed trying against it.* If we ever get to a proper investigation, it'd be good to know if Pete held any related stocks in that ... Weirdly, Remdesivir remained the only option throughout the media-life of the pandemic. Conversely, Ivermectin, much better clinical results, was shut down. Outright banned. What happened there? Coz that's also mass-manslaughter - if it was business interests at play that monopolized the treatment of a lab-caused virus - by favouring an ineffective Bat Lab one over alternatives that actually worked. That's where the big money was made from the Covid-experience. (note: - Long term collaborator with Lipkin and [WIV scientists](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/09/conspiracies-covid-19-lab-false-pandemic) - specializes in coronavirus [Gain-of-Function research](https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=Peter+Daszak+Shi+Zheng-li&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart). If you deduce that Covid escaped from an Wuhan lab, it follows that Daszak probably worked on that virus pre-escape.
